Brilliant and stunning, you provide a pleasant surprise to any room into which you walk. This is a hard color to pull off, but you do it well.


 

Take this quiz: Which Crayola Box of 8 Color Are You?


I found this at Leigh Ann's, and since I still am not up to par...I thought I'd see what color crayon I am!!

And Now You Know

Only Susan guessed correctly! The prize is a loud applause which I am doing right now!

1) I ran cross country and track and actually broke several records for the 100m dash, and the 200m dash, and for the 100m hurdles. TRUE
I am a running fiend. I truly could get over the hurdles and was quite graceful!(25 years ago:)

2)I broke my ankle my senior year of high school and wore a Christmas stocking over the cast to keep my toes warm. TRUE
I went to a dance and tripped on the bleachers in the gym. It was winter in Ohio, and lake effects snows caused alot of snow that year! So I was festive and many called me Jenny the Elf:)

3)I have personally caught many scorpions, in fact I had a scorpion about the size of my palm in my kitchen(which I then caught)TRUE
I am afraid of snakes! In Nevada the scorpions are very big. In New Mexico, last year we averaged 4 scorpions per day in the house. So far this year none:)

4)I was on a flight over a body of water and and one engine failed and the second was in 'distress' The plane was landed on an emergency runway with nearly 30 engines, firefighting equipment and police.TRUE
Bill and I, along with First(when he was a baby) were flying from Florida to Nevada, when this happened. We were over the Gulf of Mexico. We did not pay for a seat for the baby, because he was 6 months old. Ever since this, we have bought a seat for even the baby, so they are in a carseat. I was frightened for my baby, if the landing was rough. Thank God all was well.

5)Bill is an identical twin, and Bill's twins wife is named Jennie FALSE
If there were 2 of my sweetie, I would not know what to do! And if anything I have expressed is a strong love for family, yet I have never mentioned an identical twin!?!

6) For a period of 60 days every time I made spaghetti for dinner there was a fatality at work for my husband Bill. Once it was his Chief who was killed in front of Bill. TRUE
The dispatchers were furious with me and made me promise not to make spaghetti when Bill was on duty. I agreed just to appease them, yet knew the silliness of their request.

7) I have met John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame in Nevada. He was driving the famous General Lee. TRUE
One of the last remaining open road races takes place on 318 The Silver State Classic. Bill's department secured this road, and only those in the race, and the Sheriff's department were permitted to have access. One year I helped raise money for the Shop with a Cop Fund( 1200.00 in 2 hours) I designed at-shirt and hat and sold it to the race participants. John Schneider drives one of the 2or 3 General Lee's in the race. Yes he is sweet, and nice, and a normal guy!


8)I have flown in a military helicopter in the back with the side doors open.TRUE I was life flighted due to complications in pregnancy with Fourth. When I was placed in the back and met the pilot, I asked for this to occur. I always wished to fly in a helicopter and regardless of the situation I wanted to look out. They left the doors open for roughly 10 minutes, and I had an incredible flight!


9)My childhood home had 21 rooms a full basement a 2 car garage, with a barn,
airplane hangar and chicken coop.TRUE
I remember going to see the house for the first time, I was 5, and boy was the house huge! I got lost in the upstairs, in a linen closet. The house had five attics also. I loved to slide down the laundry chute to get outside fast! The basement was scary, as a kid! But my all time favorite thing about the house was that the entire back side of the house had a large screened in back porch, which I slept in every summer, every night, until I moved out to go to school!

Thank you all for guessing and I suppose you may know me a little better!

Do You Know?

Several bloggers have written posts challenging us to figure out which thing that is listed is not true about them. I have failed to guess the correct falsehood every time!
But I thought it was kind of neat and have decided to try it and see if the readers could pick out which one is not true about me.

1) I ran cross country and track and actually broke several records for the 100m dash, and the 200m dash, and for the 100m hurdles.

2)I broke my ankle my senior year of high school and wore a Christmas stocking over the cast to keep my toes warm.

3)I have personally caught many scorpions, in fact I had a scorpion about the size of my palm in my kitchen(which I then caught)

4)I was on a flight over a body of water and and one engine failed and the second was in 'distress' The plane was landed on an emergency runway with nearly 30 engines, firefighting equipment and police

5)Bill is an identical twin, and Bill's twins wife is named Jennie

6) For a period of 60 days every time I made spaghetti for dinner there was a fatality at work for my husband Bill. Once it was his Chief who was killed in front of Bill.

7) I have met John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame in Nevada. He was driving the famous General Lee.


8)I have flown in a military helicopter in the back with the side doors open.

9)My childhood home had 21 rooms a full basement a 2 car garage, with a barn, airplane hangar and chicken coop.


Well good luck. I really struggled to do this and hope I am not obvious with the one thing not true about me and my life. I will reveal the answer on Friday!

Interviewed by Midnight Musings

Interview Questions and my Answers

1. If you could spend the day with a famous person, who is still alive today, who would it be and why?
I would spend the day with John O' Neill(who helped shine the truth on John Kerry). Why? Because he spoke for my Dad, and all the others who were killed in Vietnam. It was so very important that the truth was put out in the open air, and then the Americans made a decision based on all the information.

2. How would you define the following phrase: "DYING TO SELF"?
Taking the gift of salvation that Christ freely gave to me, and stop being Jennifer, and start being the Christian that Christ knows that I can be. The world is for witnessing, preaching, and being a light to the Lord, not to me.

3. Do you have a hobby or a favorite way to unwind? If so, tell us how you got started in it.
I am the hobby lobby. I love crafting, writing, reading, etc., but my favorite way to unwind is to be with the family, and play a game or go for a walk.

4. Name an adventure you would love to do or go on.
I would love to go to Israel, and the middle east(I know the war, the anti-Christian sentiment, the suppression of women) and see the Bible unfold first hand. I am content now for the internet, giving information, but someday???

5. Name three things you do to encourage others.
I believe that this is one of my gifts. I can not believe that people can not see all their amazing abilities that they have. I love to be an encourager, because I love being around people. We all have so many wonderful, unique skills, and I love to watch another utilize the skill. I also go past the external. If the world was all wealthy we would destroy the unique person that we are and would all rush to the gym, and plastic surgeons for all the age defying nonsense. Thank God, most of us can't change, because we would if we could. I love to see those who stay home and honor their roles, and feel that most times they need the most encouragement. So to all you stay home moms, you are fulfilling your God given role of bearing the young and raising them, and I personally thank you!

6. Describe your church building, your pastor, and your pastor's wife.
Humble building, humble man, loving loving woman, who loves her husband. The pastor so loves her also. The church is poor in America's mega church mentality, but wealthy in the Word.

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow, so I am not going to have one wait for the questions, if someone would like to participate in this game on their website, go into the comments, and I will leave the questions in there. Then leave me a comment and I will visit next week and see your answers!
